Local Control Accountability Plan and Annual Update (LCAP) Goals

Goal 1: All students will demonstrate growth toward meeting or exceeding standards in all academic subject areas, with accelerated learning growth for subgroups performing below standard in order to close achievement gaps, as demonstrated through local formative assessments, summative assessments (CAASPP and curriculum-specific assessments), and additional local measures.

Goal 2: All students will show an increase in positive school engagement and connectedness with staff, peers, and community, including demonstrating improvement in social/emotional, physical, and mental health.
